Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Information about the responsible party” in this privacy statement.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website, either automatically or with your consent. This is primarily technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. If contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data will also be processed for contract offers, orders, or other inquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For this and for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time.

Analysis tools and tools from third-party providers

When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with so-called analysis programs.

Detailed information about these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy statement.

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

IONOS

The provider is IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur (hereinafter “IONOS”). When you visit our website, IONOS collects various log files, including your IP addresses. For details, please refer to the IONOS privacy statement: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.

The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Data processing on behalf

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the service mentioned above. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy statement.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy statement explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, or similar).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy statement, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided that we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

Information on data transfers to third countries that are not secure under data protection law, as well as transfers to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not secure under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a secure third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfers to the USA are therefore permissible if the recipient has certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy statement.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary in the context of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy statement. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs via your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy statement.

Consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our website uses the consent technology of Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies in your browser or for the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection law. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg (hereinafter “Borlabs”).

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

The Borlabs Cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

IONOS WebAnalytics

This website uses the analytics services of IONOS WebAnalytics (hereinafter: IONOS). The provider is 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, D – 56410 Montabaur. As part of the analyses with IONOS, visitor numbers and behavior (e.g., number of page views, duration of a website visit, bounce rates), visitor sources (i.e., which page the visitor comes from), visitor locations, and technical data (browser and operating system versions) can be analyzed. For this purpose, IONOS stores the following data in particular:

• Referrer (previously visited website)
• Requested website or file
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Device type used
• Time of access
• IP address in anonymized form (used only to determine the location of access)

According to IONOS, data collection is carried out in a fully anonymized manner, so that it cannot be traced back to individual persons. No cookies are stored by IONOS WebAnalytics.

The storage and analysis of the data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service of OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We integrate the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is considered a third country that is safe under data protection law. This means that the United Kingdom has a level of data protection that corresponds to the level of data protection in the European Union. When using the OpenStreetMap maps, a connection to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation is established. In the process, your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website may, among other things, be transmitted to the OSMF. For this purpose, OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use comparable recognition technologies.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and the easy findability of the locations specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Data processing

For communication with our customers, we use, among other things, online conference tools. The tools we use in detail are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use for using the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other “context information” in connection with the communication process (metadata).

In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data that is required to handle online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, as well as the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, this content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy statements of the respective tools, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent was requested, the use of the relevant tools is based on this consent; consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, by post, or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes made during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be disclosed within our company exclusively to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided to us on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations conflict with deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we are unable to make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are statutory reasons for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

With vonRohrCloud (https://vonrohrcloud.de), we provide a secure exchange platform for large files as well as a collaborative working environment for the joint editing of documents in real time.

This is a cloud platform operated under our responsibility. The servers are located exclusively in Germany and are subject to German data protection law as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Access by third parties, in particular by entities in so-called third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, is excluded.

Your data is stored with content-based encryption. This means that the protection of the content is ensured by encryption even before it is stored on the server. Access to the stored data is therefore only possible for authorized users within the scope of the respective authorization assignment.

Our infrastructure is regularly checked for security vulnerabilities and meets current technical and organizational requirements for a modern cloud solution that complies with data protection regulations. In addition, we implement measures for access control, logging, and two-factor authentication in order to effectively prevent unauthorized access.

The use of the vonrohrcloud.de services is based on a clearly defined authorization concept. Users have control over their data at all times and can manage, share, or delete it independently.

register-ipcheck.vonrohr.de

This website is used for the self-registration of end users. To protect our systems, to maintain availability, and to defend against attacks, misuse, and automated access, we implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

As part of these measures, the following data in particular may be processed:

• IP address as well as date/time of access,

• technically necessary connection and request information (e.g., header/protocol data, status codes, referrer, user agent),

• information required to detect and defend against attack patterns (e.g., rate-limiting/blocking indicators).

The purposes of processing include in particular:

• Ensuring IT security (detection, analysis, and defense against attacks),

• misuse prevention (e.g., protection against automated registrations),

• error analysis and ensuring stable operation.

To protect against automated access (bots), we use Cloudflare Turnstile as a security/CAPTCHA solution. As part of this check, validation and risk assessment data may be processed and transmitted to the provider.

Processing is purpose-bound and only to the extent necessary. Log and security data is stored only for as long as necessary to achieve the stated purposes and/or as long as statutory retention obligations exist. Unauthorized access attempts, circumvention of security mechanisms, and abusive use are prohibited and may result in technical measures (e.g., suspensions/blocking) and, if applicable, further steps.

ipcheck.vonrohr.de

This portal is intended exclusively for registered and authorized users. By using it, you confirm that you will use the portal exclusively within the scope of its intended purposes and in compliance with the applicable rules and security requirements.

To protect the portal and our infrastructure and to ensure traceability of security-relevant events, we process technical data and carry out security logging. This includes in particular:

• logging of login and authentication events (e.g., time, success/failure, technical metadata),
